Short bio Jean Hubeau
Full biography Jean Hubeau
Jean Hubeau was a French pianist, composer, and pedagogue born on June 22, 1917, in Paris, France. He is best known for his recordings of Gabriel Fauré's piano music and his own compositions, including his Sonate pour Trompette et Piano. Hubeau began his piano studies at the Paris Conservatory at the age of ten, and later studied composition under Arthur Honegger. He went on to become a professor of piano at the Conservatory in Paris, and also served as the director of the École Normale de Musique de Paris from 1962 to 1985.
In addition to his work as a composer and pedagogue, Hubeau was a prolific performer, and made numerous recordings throughout his career. He was particularly renowned for his interpretations of French composers, including Debussy, Ravel, and Fauré. Hubeau also played a significant role in promoting the music of younger composers, and premiered many new works during his lifetime.
Hubeau's own compositions are characterized by their lyricism and the influence of French Impressionism. In addition to his Sonate pour Trompette et Piano , some of his most notable works include his Piano Trio and his Sonata for Clarinet and Piano. Hubeau died on August 19, 1992, in Toulon, France, leaving behind a rich legacy as a pianist, composer, and educator.
